[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely. If you look at any major corporation and where their veteran hiring initiatives live - they are under the DEI umbrella. Having helped set up both veteran hiring and retention programs for Fortune 50 companies - there are times that military skills don't necessarily translate directly into a job description but the leadership, flexibility, core values, responsibility, etc. that someone brings to the table are important and may compensate for some of the direct skills that they lack. Veterans also tend to be trainable, so this is another plus. Think about in the early 2000s when a lot of companies didn't want to hire vets because of the fear mongering that they would have PTSD, etc. etc. etc. - DEI programs at corporations helped educate hiring managers about this and helped alleviate some of this unnatural fear.
